Ambrosia — the Spring Festival of Living Cinema

What is Ambrosia? Both the nectar of the gods and a poisonous plant. Our festival is just like that — a fusion of contrasts: inspiration and aftertaste, admiration and disillusion, the sublime and the ordinary.

At the Ambrosia International Film Festival, you’ll see world cinema in all its forms and moods — from comedy to tragedy, from documentaries to animation, from student shorts to full-length works by seasoned filmmakers.

We celebrate cinema that breathes, argues, surprises, and dares to be different. Ambrosia is a space where fresh ideas meet experience, and audiences can taste film — sometimes sweet, sometimes sharp, sometimes burning just a little.

The spring edition of Ambrosia is a celebration of contrasts and discoveries — where films awaken emotion and leave an aftertaste worth talking about.

All officially selected films will be shown on the big screen during the solemn final ceremony on April 24 – 26, 2026 in Moscow, Russia, and will be able to struggle for the main prize and the title of the “Best Film”. As well as for the prizes in the standalone nominations.
